A spider snatches a mosquito and eats it.

This was taken by one of my favorite youtubers - she was hiking the pacific crest trail and got this shot with an iphone 7 plus a low-priced attached macro lens.

(I forwarded past all of the setup stuff and landed just a few secs before the attack.)

Cool video...surprised how long it took the mosquito to actually die.

And thanks for sharing that channel! I’ve spent the past two hours down a Dixie wormhole so to speak. She’s got a great balance of straight forward general advice, a wealth of gear information and her channel seems to be an incredible resource. Was she the one you posted a clip of her encounter with a Mt. lion a while back?

Hoping to get out into the trinity alps next month but we’ll see. I’ve never backpacked there at all.
